Margaret Rudin: Black Widow's New Claim & Fight For Innocence
Could a woman once labeled a "black widow killer" actually be innocent? Margaret Rudin, one of Nevada's most infamous convicted murderers, vehemently maintains her innocence in the 1994 death of her millionaire husband, Ron Rudin, in Las Vegas and she says proceeds from her story will fund a reward for tips leading to the real killer. This bold assertion, decades after her conviction, has reignited a case that captivated and divided public opinion.
The legal saga of Margaret Rudin has been anything but straightforward. Convicted in 2001, after a trial that saw Boscutti take the stand on the fourth day, Rudin spent nearly two decades behind bars. Prosecutors Chris Owens and Gary Guymon built their case on the theory that Rudin, with the aid of an accomplice, fatally shot Ronald Rudin, who was 64 at the time of his death in December 1994. It was 6,819 days between the moment Margaret Rudin stood before a Clark County jury and the pronouncement of her fate. "Guilty," the jury foreman declared, locking eyes with Rudin, then 57, in a courtroom filled with tension.
